Around a year ago I couldn’t update my Nvidia driver for like 6 months or my PC wouldn’t boot… I’m willing to guarantee this isn’t the first vibe coded driver.
Yeah they had tons of driver issues early last year, pretty sure they were vibe coding drivers at least that far back
When the v580 drivers dropped last year I had a similar experience. Think I also pushed updates for 4 months or so.
I went from 535 to latest (590?) last week and it isn’t great. What’s the sweet spot, 570?
I’m on 580 right now. It got usable after a few months. If 590 is out, I have to say I’m really hesitant to bump up to that. Might just hold off on updates for a while.
Thankfully I have snapper on all my systems so rollbacks are easy.
How does snapper compare to timeshift? Ease of use. Been using ts since I got back into linux and have used it quite a few times already
I don’t really know the difference, I’ve only ever used Snapper. It comes preconfigured on SuSE Tumbleweed, and I’ve set it up manually on those machines I have that don’t run Tumbleweed.
I like Snapper because once set up it basically just does its thing on its own, and it’s super easy to use. I can access the snapshots from the boot menu so if something goes awry I can just boot into a previous system configuration.
If you already use Timeshift and you’re happy with it I don’t really see why you’d switch.
I just get curious when I see an app I didn’t know about that is similar to one I use. Other than access from the boot menu it sounds just like ts. I may check it out on one of my test laptops to see how different it is
thanks
We had such issues way before Ai driven development. It might be, but not all problems and bugs are caused by usage of Ai.
car crash noise
That… doesn’t happen because of a crappy driver release. Announcing they may “be tight on product” for 2026 will though.
I don’t think client gfx will really impact their share price either. If there was a delay with server/dc products them maybe.
It can but it would require headlines like “70% of all nividia users find their computers unusable permanently due to a faulty automated update.”
THAT Would cause a solid drop in stock value
I genuinely wish that would be the case but client portfolio performance rarely has any bearing on it.
I guess I don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the proportion of affected users but I don’t think Intel suffered at all for the raptor lake failures, even though it affected workstations and notebooks (though I could be mistaken).
Keep going nvidia. Take that tiny teensie little prick you call a ceo and pop that bubble. I fuckin dare you.
What about paying a vibe coded currency/bank note to purchase a vibe coded hardware. Sounds fun
Good. Replace developers with AI and find out.
